Abbie is a neonatal nurse at Leicester Royal Infirmary. Abbie says:
"Covid-19 represents a time where I had to battle with my internal mother instincts to keep my own child safe whilst having my moral compass guiding me to care for other mummy & daddy’s babies."
She wanted the portrait to represent how strong she has had to learn to be during this time, as a nurse and a mother. Her friend, Kate, who asked me to paint her, said: "She is super motivated, kind & passionate in her work & her life"
